Samy Vellu calls for release of Hindraf 5

2008-03-30T00:31:00.000-07:00

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu on Sunday asked the government to release the five Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders under detention, saying two of them should be freed sooner because one was ill and the other was now an elected representative.

He said R. Kenghadaran, 40, "is very sick" and M. Manoharan, 46, had won a seat in the March 8 general election. Manoharan had won the Kota Alam Shah state seat in Selangor on a DAP ticket.

Samy Vellu also said that V. Ganabatirau, 34, and K. Vasantha Kumar, 34, had not been very much involved in the massive rally organised by the unregistered Hindraf in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 25 last year, which was a reason for the five to be detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA).

The fifth Hindraf leader under detention is P. Uthayakumar.

The MIC president spoke at a news conference after opening a workshop on "Rebranding the MIC" attended by the party's 150 divisional leaders, here.

"I will raise it (the issue of their release) with the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) after he returns from Sabah," he said. -- Bernama

Aduan terhadap perdana menteri

2008-03-24T05:27:00.000-07:00

Angkatan muda keadilan (AMK) PKR membuat laporan terhadap perdana menteri, timbalan perdana menteri serta 23 wakil rakyat Barisan Nasional (BN) yang didakwanya “bersikap biadap dan menderhaka” kepada Sultan Terengganu.

Laporan tersebut dibuat oleh timbalan ketua AMK pusat, Fariz Musa, di ibu pejabat polis daerah Kuala Terengganu jam 4.30 petang tadi.

Dalam laporannya itu, Fariz mendakwa, isu pelantikan menteri besar itu melanggar prinsip perlembagaan yang seharus menghormati keputusan sultan dan institusi beraja.

“Tindakan perdana menteri, timbalan perdana menteri dan 23 Adun tersebut sebagai menderhaka dan tindakan tegas perlu diambil,” katanya dalam laporan itu lagi.

“Saya dengan ini menyatakan keputusan Duli Yang Mahu Mulia dan Majlis Penasihat Pemangku Raja (MPPR) adalah keputusan yang tidak boleh diengkari dan dipertikaikan,” katanya dalam laporan tersebut.

Dalam laporan itu juga, Fariz berkata, pihak eksekutif tidak boleh keterlaluan dengan memperlekehkan dan secara terbuka menentang institusi raja berperlembagaan kerana ia boleh menyebabkan suasana buruk dan menjejaskan keharmonian negara dan negeri.

Lagi laporan polis

Sementara itu, AMK Terengganu akan membuat satu lagi laporan polis esok terhadap 23 Adun berkenaan, termasuk Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh atas dakwaan menderhaka kepada istana.

Laporan tersebut akan dibuat oleh Ketua AMK negeri, Rosdi Baba di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Kuala Terengganu.

"AMK mahu polis menyiasat kesemua Adun terbabit apa motif mereka bermati-matian mempertahankan Idris walaupun tidak direstui oleh istana.

"Tindakan Adun-Adun berkenaan tidak mencerminkan prinsip menjunjung raja berperlembagaan," katanya ketika dihubungi hari ini.

Rosdi berkata, tindakan Adun BN itu lebih biadap daripada pemimpin DAP dalam isu membantah pelantikan menteri besar Perak baru-baru ini.

Katanya, beliau tidak faham mengapa Adun berkenaan berkonfrontasi kerana kedua-duanya merupakan dari parti sama iaitu Umno.

Rancang perhimpunan

Sementara itu, Rosdi berkata, satu perhimpunan membabitkan 10,000 rakyat Terengganu dirancang diadakan bagi menyatakan sokongan kepada istana.

Katanya, perhimpunan tersebut akan diadakan di Batu Buruk, Kuala Terengganu dalam masa terdekat ini serta perarakan ke Istana Tetamu.

"Kita menentang sikap penderhaka kerana ia bukan sahaja tidak beradab tetapi juga tidak menghormati institusi Raja.

"Kami melihat ada kain rentang yang ditampal di istana mengandungi perkataan yang tidak sesuai untuk ditujukan kepada istana.

"Sama ada mendapat permit polis, atau tidak perhimpunan tersebut akan tetap diadakan," katanya lagi.

Langkah sopan

Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, PKR negeri menggesa ketegangan antara istana dengan BN ditangani "dengan penuh berhemah dan berhati-hati, terutamanya dalam menjaga hubungan intim dengan pihak istana kerana ia amat sensitif bagi orang Melayu."

Dalam kenyataannya, setiausaha badan perhubungan parti itu Razali Alias berkata jika BN atau Umno tidak bersetuju dengan lantikan MPPR, langkah yang lebih sopan disyorkan dan bukannya melalui "kenyataan-kenyataan yang berbetuk penghinaan atau tekanan terhadap pihak istana."

Sementara itu, Badan Pencegah Rasuah (BPR) dilaporkan menyiasat aduan tiga wakil rakyat yang mendakwa cuba dibeli agar berpihak kepada Ahmad.

Akhbar Sin Chew Daily melaporkan, Mohd Zawawi Ismail (wakil Kuala Berang), Nawi Mohamad (Hulu Besut) dan Ramlan Ali (Jabi) melaporkan percubaan berpindah kem politik kepada badan itu.

Malaysiakini bagaimanapun setakat ini belum dapat mengesahkannya.

Syed Hamid Albar terus didesak

2008-03-24T05:24:00.001-07:00

Menteri Dalam Negeri yang baru, Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar terus didesak supaya membebaskan lima pemimpin Barisan Bertindak Hak Hindu (Hindraf) yang ditahan di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA).

Mereka yang meringkuk di Kem Tahanan Kamunting di Taiping ialah M Manoharan, P Uthayakumar, V Ganabatirau, R Kengadharan dan K Vasantha Kumar.

Semuanya ditahan pada 13 Disember selepas terbabit menganjurkan perhimpunan 25 November lalu serta membuat kenyataan yang berunsur hasutan terhadap kerajaan.

Kali ini gesaan tersebut dibuat oleh seorang tokoh yang tidak asing lagi, Datuk Param Cumaraswamy yang merupakan bekas pelapor khas Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) mengenai kebebasan hakim dan peguam.

Gesaan itu terkandung dalam surat terbukanya kepada menteri berkenaan hari ini.

Sebelum ini, gesaan yang sama dibuat oleh pemimpin veteran DAP, Lim Kit Siang dan penolong setiausaha parti Gerakan Wilayah Persekutuan, K K Supmaniam serta Presiden Hindu Sangam Malaysia, Datuk A Vaithilingam.

Semak semula arahan

Menurut Param, salah satu tugas tugas utama Syed Hamid selaku Menteri Dalam Negeri yang sangat penting dalam kerajaan, ialah menyemak semula arahan yang dibuat pada 12 Disember 2007 terhadap lima pemimpin Hindraf tersebut dan membebaskan mereka tanpa syarat.

"Mereka ditahan tanpa bicara di bawah 8(1) Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri 1960 untuk menghalang mereka daripada bertindak dalam bentuk yang membahayakan keselamatan Negara," katanya dalam surat tersebut.

Param berkata, keputusan pilihanraya umum dua minggu lalu hendaklah dilihat sebagai menyangkal apa juga syak wasangka kerajaan terhadap mereka pada masa mereka ditahan.

"Perjuangan Hindraf kini telah menjadi sebahagian daripada perjuangan MIC dalam kerajaan dan juga di pihak pembangkang.

"Malah, seorang daripada mereka, M Manoharan, telah dipilih oleh pengundi di Kota Alam Shah sebagai wakil rakyat mereka di Dewan Undangan Negeri Selangor.

"Itu harus diterima sebagai satu mesej yang jelas bahawa para pengundi tidak menganggap beliau sebagai ancaman kepada keselamatan negara. Jadi jelas, tiada lagi sebarang justifikasi untuk terus meletakkan dalam tahanan," kata Param lagi.

Tegak keadilan

Dalam pilihanraya umum, Manoharan yang bertanding atas tiket DAP di kerusi DUN Kota Alam Shah di Selangor dan menang dengan majoriti 7,184 undi.

Beliau mendapat 12,699 undi untuk menewaskan calon BN-Gerakan, Ching Su Chen yang memperolehi 5,515 undi.

"Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, dilaporkan telah melaksanakan program yang berani untuk memperbaiki keseluruhan sistem penyampaian kebebasan keadilan di negara ini yagn begitu mustahak untuk melindungi perintahan undang-undang.

"Berasaskan kepada pengalaman luas Datuk sebagai Menteri Luar dan sudah biasa dengan program-program PBB dalam mempromosi hak asasi manusia dan pemerintahan undang-undang, pastinya anda tanpa tanpa ragu-ragu sependapat bahawa penahanan tanpa bicara melanggar prinsip pertama dalam pemerintahan undang-undang," tegas Param.

Oleh itu, tambahnya, demi keadilan dan mengukuhkan lagi harmoni dan integrasi kaum di negara ini, beliau menggesda Syed Hamid supaya menyemak semula arahan tersebut dan membebaskan pemimpin Hindraf terbabit agar mereka dapat kembali ke pangkuan keluarga masing-masing.

"Dan ia juga membolehkan Manoharan berkhidmat kepada para pengundinya di Kota Alam Shah, secara berkesan," tegasnya.

Siapa yang biadap sekarang

2008-03-23T05:02:00.000-07:00

Dear reader's this is letter from Md Asmawi Md Nor to YB SDR LIM KIT SIANG. I agree with what this writer had mentioned in his letter.

Letters
by Md Asmawi Md Nor

Saya bersetuju bahawa Saudara telah tersilap dalam isu majlis angkat sumpah MB Perak tetapi saya juga sangat hormat apabila Saudara dengan cepat menyedari kesilapan tersebut dan dengan segera memperbetulkannya dan melakukan tindakan yang tepat dengan memohon maaf kepada pihak istana secara peribadi. Tahniah atas tindakan anda tersebut.

Nah, sekarang Terengganu pula menghadapi isu yang sama dimana 23 Adun dengan segera mengumumkan untuk memboikot majlis angkat sumpah MB Terengganu yang dijangka akan diadakan esok sebaik sahaja ayam tambatan mereka Idris Jusoh tidak terpilih sebagai MB. Seperti biasa, media UMNO Utusan Malaysia akan bersikap ‘double-standard’ dalam menanggani isu ini. Maksud saya secara spesifik ialah bila mana Saudara mengeluarkan statement dalam isu MB Perak dulu, Utusan Malaysia dengan segera dan ‘bold’ terus dengan muka depan “DAP Biadap’, dan dikuti dengan pelbagai rentetan propaganda dan provokasi lagi. Saya sebagai rakyat Terengganu mahukan perkara yang sama kali ini dilakukan oleh Utusan Malaysia dalam menanggani isu 23 Adun yang biadap ini termasuk Idris Jusoh. Tajuk yang perlu keluar dimuka depan mereka sekurang-kurangnya ‘23 Adun Biadap’. Mereka semua juga perlu memohon maaf seperti mana yang Saudara lakukan dahulu.

Saya amat berharap Saudara dapat memantau isu ini dengan diberi perhatian istimewa agar UMNO khasnya sedar jangan hanya pandai melihat orang lain biadap tetapi mereka sendiri boleh bersikap biadap dan bertindak sesuka hati mereka. Macamlah negara ini tiada undang-undang.

Sekian,

Royal consent for Perak coalition govt

2008-03-10T03:45:00.000-07:00

The Regent of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah has consented to a new ruling coalition, comprising the DAP, PKR and PAS, to form the new state government.

The consent was given when leaders of the new ruling coalition had an audience with the Regent at Istana Kinta here Monday.

However, coalition leaders remained tightlipped on who the new Mentri Besar would be, saying the matter would be decided at a tripartite meeting later Monday night.

“We came to seek consent from Raja Nazrin Shah on the formation of the new coalition government consisting of the three parties - the DAP, PKR and PAS,” Perak DAP chief Ngeh Koo Ham.

"Raja Nazrin Shah has advised us to submit the names of those nominated for the post of Mentri Besar by Tuesday morning and if possible, work out the portfolios and names of executive councillors needed to set up the new government,” he said.

This, he said, was to enable the new state government to be sworn in by Wednesday or Thursday.

Ngeh, who is the newly elected Beruas MP and Sitiawan assemblyman, said that the names would be submitted to State Secretary Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Hashim to be passed on to Raja Nazrin Shah.

“A meeting of the three parties will be held tonight to decide on the new Mentri Besar and the list of exco members plus the portfolios,” he said.

The leaders who were present were Perak PAS commissioner Ahmad Awang, Perak PAS elections director Asmuni Awi, state PKR chief Zulkifly Ibrahim, Perak PKR elections director Ismail Yusop, Perak DAP secretary Nga Kor Ming.

Two others tipped to be the next Mentri Besar were also part of the entourage. They were Perak PAS secretary Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, who had just won the Pasir Panjang state seat, and Perak PKR member Jamaluddin Mohad Radzi, who is the newly elected Behrang assemblyman.

Ngeh said the meeting with Raja Nazrin Shah was cordial and the Regent reminded them of the need for development in the state and a working relationship with the Federal Government to bring in investments.

“He (Raja Nazrin Shah) also stressed on the importance of the people benefiting from the development,” he said, adding that they assured Raja Nazrin Shah that they would fulfil their responsibilities to the people.

DAP Rocks Penangite

2008-03-07T02:30:00.000-08:00

People start assembling in the school's padang. Anticipated crowd is 20,000

The football field at Han Chiang soon starts to fill up. 20,000 looks easily achievable.

The crowd stretches back as far as the eye can see. There's easily 30,000 people now

There's a rock concert atmosphere. People are eagerly awaiting the start of the show.

Jeff Ooi backstage. He arrives with an electric guitar slung over his shoulder and an amp in hand. Is this a rock concert or a political ceramah?

Like a true rock star, Jeff obliges and goes down to the ground to greet fans.

As the show is about to start, Han Chiang is awash in a sea of red. General estimate is that there's 40,000 people now!

Some ceramahs have been marred by poor audio systems. Not this one, which is fully wired for sound. There are also large screen projectors for those standing too far away from the stage.

Murphy's Law - Rain threatens to spoil the party. But the crowd has swollen to record levels. 50,000 fans will not be denied!

The Zanster is on hand ready to capture it all on film.

BN events typically feature performances by local artistes but the DAP has its own rock star.

His voice completely hoarse and barely audible after 10 non-stop days of campaigning, Jeff still manages to rock the padang with help from 50,000 voices. The first song is a famous Chinese oldie loosely translated as "What did you say?" with lyrics like "I haven't forgotten you but you've forgotten me" - dedicated to BN. Second song is the election jingle "Mari Mengundi" (untuk DAP).

The media goes crazy as DAP's own Elvis belts out his third and final song for the evening, a Hokkien number loosely translated as "No risk, no gain" - a reprise of DAP's theme song in 1990. The crowd goes crazy too.

Han Chiang overflows. With the padang and school corridors completely packed, people start flowing into the street and even gathering behind the stage. There's about 60,000 people now.

The crowd goes crazy when the emcee introduces the first biggie of the night as someone who is "weak in body but still strong in mind". They know who he is talking about. Karpal is wheeled to the front of the stage and gets the crowd roaring in approval when he talks about the "celaka menteri pendidikan" and his keris. He mentions a few more "celaka" people, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

Guan Eng arrives in style, carried by supporters from one end of the padang all the way to the stage.

Guan Eng would be forgiven if he mistook Han Chiang for Wembley Stadium. He stirs up the crowd with comments in Hokkien, English and Malay.

It's close to midnight by the time Kit Siang takes the stage but the padang is still packed. No one wants the show to end.

Everyone is worn out, especially the speakers who have been doing this kind of non-stop for past 10 days. Two more day left!!

Jeff can barely keep his eyes open.

Someone - not the organizers - brought fireworks, causing Kit Siang to temporarily halt his speech to soak in the happy atmosphere.

The event might be over but work continues for the media. Malaysiakini's star reporter Beh Li Yih interviews a worn-out Guan Eng after the ceramah wraps up.

Guan Eng goes to a nearby hawker centre around 1 am to grab a bite before he retires for the night, but a politician's work never ends - especially with two days left before the polls. He gets his second wind and works the rounds, pressing the flesh with the patrons there.

This is not Kota Melaka but the Penangites have warmed to Guan Eng. He can't have his food yet.

Finally, at 1.45 am, fueling up for the morning's rounds which start at 7.00 am. In between slurping his noodles, he hums "The Heat Is On". He says the night's ceramah is the biggest, most successful one ever in DAP history. 60,000 people and over RM120,000 in donations in one night.

60K Crowd - On site donation reach 123k

2008-03-06T21:36:00.000-08:00

The March 6 DAP Ceramah held last night at Han Chiang High School, located with the Jelutong parliamentary constituency were mass with 60000 supporter to hear speech by Blogger Jeff Ooi , Karpal Singh , Lim Kit Siang , and Lim Guan Eng.

People came in red and white, DAP's colours. About 50,000 people gathered within the football field and the school compound, with another 10,000 surrounding the perimeter fencing by the roadside.

Will all this supporter will vote for opposition? To deny BN 2/3 majority? We will see this in 24 hour's more.

More information about this will follow up in two hour.

N16 PERAI : Battle between DAP vs MIC

2008-02-16T22:39:00.000-08:00

N16 PERAI constituents is gonna being main battle for barisan and Opposition . Following the decision made by Dr.K.Rajapathy (i know much about him) to make way for the young generation to contest (he is three term assemblyman ).

I'm saying this following action made by Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu. MIC keyman leading a strong MIC team to Prai, considered the party’s state bastion, in an effort to retain the state seat. He also visited key Indian areas.

Samy Vellu say "“When you are in need (of help), who do you call? The MIC men.(i'm saying we call gerakan or opposition definately not MIC ).

In the last general election, Rajapathy defeated DAP’s Chong Eng with a majority of 583 votes. The MIC’s only other state seat in Penang is Bagan Dalam.

That time indian supported a lot for MIC. This time gonna be totaly diferent with a HINDRAF issue. MIC defeated DAP with only 583 votes this time indian voters gonna vote for Opposition.

After all what have Barisan goverment do for Indian ???? Can you tell me? In education ,in job , in buying house , in geting loans & in get a goverment job!!!

P/S : Vote wisely ... think for the future

Update 16 Feb Roses Campaign

2008-02-15T21:46:00.000-08:00

A supporter being heldin track!!

150 to 200 supporters being held at PULAPOL, Jalan Semarak for more than an hour now.

No food and drinks being provided.Police fired teargas and chemical-laced water cannons in a bid to disperse some 300 Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) supporters who gathered for a peaceful event in Jalan Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur, early this morning.

According to Hindraf coordinator S Thanenthiran, about 200 people have been arrested.

Also nabbed was Hindraf’s rose campaign organiser S Manickavasagam.

There were heavy police presence in Jalan Raja Laut. Four water cannon trucks were stationed along the route leading to Parliament.

The Hindraf event was initially planned to be held at the Parliament gates where 200 children were to gather to hand over roses as a peaceful gesture requesting that Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi heed the group’s 18-point demands.

News that roads leading to Parliament were closed to prevent them from going to Parliament then led them to change the gathering venue to Jalan Raja Laut.After being chased away by some 40 plainclothes policemen, the supporters ran and were scattered around the Masjid India area.

Choong Hann set to make a record third appearance in Olympic Games

2008-01-31T00:25:00.000-08:00

Shuttler Wong Choong Hann intends to stop playing for the national team after the Beijing Olympics in August.

And that is good reason enough for him to go the extra mile to join national number one and world number two Lee Chong Wei as the second Malaysian entry for the men's singles of the Games competition in August.

Choong Hann is now ranked at number 16 – ahead of fellow Malaysians Mohd Hafiz Hashim (17), Lee Tsuen Seng (18) and Mohd Roslin Hashim (19). A country can have a maximum of two entries if both players are ranked among the top 16.

And with two more Super Series to play before the Olympic qualification deadline at the end of April, Choong Hann is ready to battle it out to claim a berth with strong performances at the All-England and Swiss Open in March.

“I am certainly on course. My plan is to go inside the top 16 before the All-England,” he said.
“Hafiz is set to drop further after the Korean Open ranking points are added on later this week (Hafiz was a first-round casualty) and it is working well for me.

“I should be able to stay inside the top 16 from now even if I lose in the first round of the coming two Super Series.”

The 2003 World Championships runner-up is certainly relishing the challenge of playing in the twilight of his career and earning a record third appearance in the Olympics will be an achievement.

The 31-year-old Choong Hann only started to make a comeback early last year after having surgery to mend a ruptured tendon. He suffered the injury in the 2006 Thomas Cup Finals in Japan but make a superb recovery to return to train after only six months.

“If I qualify, I will enjoy it more than last time, given the circumstances.

“I probably enjoy playing more at my age now and it is a rare chance to make it to the Olympics for the third time,” he said.

“On hindsight, I thought I was at my peak in Athens and wanted to win a medal so much (he lost to eventual winner Taufik Hidayat in the third round). But I will look at things differently this time.”

On his plans after the Olympics, Choong Hann said that he would probably leave the national team but is still undecided on what he wanted to do.

“I may play a little bit for fun and probably go into coaching,” said Choong Hann, who made it to the second round of the opening two Super Series tournament – in Kuala Lumpur and in Seoul.
In the meantime, Choong Hann's focus is to strengthen his current position by aiming to beat any of the top-10 players in the All-England scheduled for March 6-9.

Today is another sad and black day for Malaysia. You would have read that 5 Hindraf leaders have been arrested without trial under the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA), exactly two decades after the last Operasi Lalang.

There appears to be plenty of such sad and black days in recent weeks. Who would have thought that the seemingly genial Prime Minister, Pak Lah, when he took over the reigns of the Government could have been such an incompetent, uninspiring, sleeping and heartless leader?

But enough about Pak Lah, I've ranted enough 2 days ago here. Now, I'd just like to provide a little more insight to one of those arrested, a little known unsung hero, 34 year old lawyer, V Ganabathirau, who hit the limelight recently as one of the core leaders of Hindraf.

As you may have read from the New Straits Times (NST) yesterday, Gana is a DAP member. What makes the whole ugly episode we saw today close to me, is that Gana is a member of DAP Damansara branch, of which I'm the chairperson. Gana joined me in March this year, and subsequently helped form the Taman Muda branch in Shah Alam, of which he is the advisor.

Having known him for the past 8 months or so, I can't claim to know him inside out. But there are somethings which I will vouch for him with my life.

Gana is not a racist. He is not a religious fanatic and neither is he in anyway at all, a terrorist as he is insinuated to be. Having known him well in recent months, he is the complete opposite of what the Pak Lah administration, through the mainstream mouthpieces will like to paint him to be.

Gana is a full-blooded Malaysian, who strongly believes that all Malaysians regardless of ethnicity must have equal opportunities to succeed. While some may quibble over the fact that Hindraf could have taken a greater multi-racial outlook in its position, no right thinking Malaysian will deny them the fact that the overwhelming majority of Indians in this country are severely marginalised and lives below or near the poverty line.

The way politics in Malaysia are framed at this point of time, it is unsurprising that the ethnic Indians found themselves having to stand up and be counted. They really have nothing else to lose.

Some will argue that I can afford to spend some time on politics today because I've made some money after having sold my company. However, Gana, despite having just started his own fledging law firm, found himself travelling frequently (i.e., at least weekly) between Teluk Intan, his hometown and Shah Alam where he now stays, in order to provide his community services to the needy and unfortunate. He even rented and refurbished a service centre in Teluk Intan with his own money, to carry out his services.

When I received cases at my own service centre in Damansara Utama, and was in need of legal services to assist the complainants, Gana offered his with absolutely no hesitation. For example, there was a group of 7 contractors who failed to receive payment from a housing developer, Gana took up their case and offered legal advise pro bono. When legal actions were required, I actually had to convince him to accept some payment from these contractors! Guess what, these contractors were all Chinese but race, as should be the case for all right-thinking Malaysians, never ever came into the picture.

Gana, the youngest of 3 brothers, is a son that would have made any family proud. He belongs to the Indian Telugu community and grew up in a poor family which just about made enough to survive. Gana never manage to have the privilege of completing his education at one go. After finishing Form 5, he had to take up various odd jobs to help support himself and his family.

That however, did not prevent him from investing his earnings and taking up part-time courses to pursue his ambition of becoming an officer of the court. His dream came true in his late twenties when he graduated with a law degree from the University of London external programme. He plied his trade as a legal assistant with a law firm in Teluk Intan before saving sufficiently to set up his own firm, having moved to Shah Alam late last year.

But all these while, he held political ambitions, ambitions not to further enrich himself by illegal and unethical means, but ambitions to help play a part in the betterment of his marginalised community as well as Malaysians in general. Having set up his own firm, it provided him, for better or worse, the flexibility to spend time on social and political causes. And he did it with all his heart and soul.

Gana was married not too long ago to a school teacher. And only just on Merdeka day this year, his first, now barely 4-month old baby daughter, was born. If Pak Lah has his way, by the time Gana is released from ISA detention, his daughter would be more than 2 years old. When Gana first pointed out his wife to me sitting in the court stands when he was being charged with sedition in Klang sessions court, you could visibly see tears in her eyes. Her fears have unfortunately come true.

Gana told me that his wife was a former Tamil school debater and is very politically aware. In fact, in the earlier years, she used to tease him that he only knew how to "talk" politics but never got his hands dirty. More recently however, she will half-jokingly tell him that she regretted having ever encouraged him to join the fight for a just cause.

Gana is a good man. He has sacrificed selflessly to help create a better Malaysia for all Malaysians, particularly for the underprivileged and marginalised community. He has rose quickly to prominence through sheer tenacity, hardwork, eloquence and dedication to the cause. 30,000 Indians from all parts of Malaysia walked the streets of Kuala Lumpur not because they had nothing better to do, but because they shared his cause, and they believed that "enough is enough!

"For that, Pak Lah who is clearly unable to hear, accept and deal with the truth, invoked the draconian ISA in the hope of sweeping all under the carpet.

Thankfully, Gana has a kind and loving family members who will help take care of the needs of the mother and child. The DAP, as announced by the party secretary-general, will be setting up a fund to assist the families of those who have been detained without trial.

My eyes were moist as I wrote this post. I firmly believe that Gana will be a stronger man post-detention. You would not have heard the last of him for a long time yet. I expect him to be a future leader of this country, a rare breed of the much needed righteous, caring, intelligent and dedicated kind who will only contribute immensely to creating a better Malaysia for our future generations. His personal sacrifices must not, and will not be in vain.Share this story with others who need to see the other side of the coin.

(Footnote: I've been corrected that he is actually the middle and not the youngest son of 3 brothers. ;-))

Attempted murder charges dropped against Hindraf 31

2007-12-16T22:03:00.000-08:00

KLANG: The Attorney-General has dropped the attempted murder charge against the 31 protesters who took part in the illegal Nov 25 Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) rally in Kuala Lumpur.

Tan Sri Gani Patail also dropped all three charges against the four students who were part of the so-called ‘Hindraf 31.’

The charges of mischief and illegal assembly remain against 26 of the protesters, all of whom pleaded guilty at the Klang Sessions Court Monday morning.

The 31 were slapped with the attempted murder charge after they allegedly injured a policeman at the rally

DAP leaders call for an end to ISA

2007-12-16T22:00:00.000-08:00

PENANG: About 10 state DAP leaders and members took turns to carry placards here calling for the abolition of the Internal Security Act (ISA).

State DAP vice-chairman Lim Hock Seng said the day-long demonstration at the Campbell Street-Penang Road junction, was held to protest against the use of the ISA against five Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) officials.

The five – P. Uthayakumar, 46; M. Manoharan, 46; V. Ganabatirau, 34; R. Kengadharan, 40; and K. Vasanthakumar, 34, – have been placed under a two-year detention order.

George Town OCPD Asst Comm Azam Abd Hamid said policemen were deployed to keep the situation in check. No arrest was made.

Update from The star

2007-12-13T00:55:00.000-08:00

PETALING JAYA: Five Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders have been arrested and detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA).

The five are P. Uthayakumar, M. Manoharan, R. Kenghadharan, V. Ganabatirau and T. Vasanthakumar. They were picked up at various locations in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Seremban.

It is learnt they were detained under Section 8 (1) of the ISA after Internal Security Minister Datuk Seri Abdulah Ahmad Badawi signed their detention order.
Their detention is for two years.

Uthayakumar and two others namely Ganabatirau and P. Waythamoorthy were charged under the Sedition Act on Nov 23 in Klang 23 for allegedly making speeches to incite hatred at a gathering in Batang Berjuntai, Selangor, on Nov 16. Waythamoorthy is currently overseas.

Under Section 73 (1) of the ISA, the police can detain any individual for up to 60 days without a warrant, trial and without access to legal counsel if he was suspected to have “acted or is about to act or is likely to act in any manner prejudicial to the security of Malaysia or any part thereof or to maintenance of essential services therein or to the economic life thereof."

After 60 days, the Minister of Home Affairs can extend the period of detention without trial for up to two years, without submitting any evidence for review by the courts, by issuing a detention order, which is renewable indefinitely.

Finally go on ISA!!!!

2007-12-13T00:25:00.000-08:00

5 HINDRAF leader's finally detained under ISA under Abdullah Administration .

The detainees are: P. Uthayakumar, M. Manoharan, R. Kenghadharan, V. Ganabatirau and T. Vasanthakumar.

The source Malaysiakini reported at 1.09pm.

They will be detained for two years, Inspector-General Police Musa Hassan said in a statement, The Star reported.

Going by past records in Malaysia, ISA epitomizes imprisonment without trial.

Lim Kit Siang - PM & DPM liars!!!!!!

2007-12-11T00:03:00.000-08:00

How could god fearing leaders perpetuate a lie in order to further their agenda of remaining inoffice?

For DPM, Najib to label Hindraf as a violent and extremist group is doing a great injustice to the marginalised miniority Malaysian indians. This is a blatant lie that honest, fair minded citizens cannot accept as the truth.

How could a peaceful group of Hindraf supporters who participated in a peaceful assembly just two weeks ago suddenly being transformed into a terrorist group is beyond the comprehension of Malaysians of all race and creed.

Quite obviously, Najib was merely parroting what the Attorney-General Gani Patil was arguing in the courts to deny bail for the 31 Hindraf supporters. (They were denied bail.) On the basis of a flimsy Police report without proper investigative measure he surmised that Hindraf was a terrorist group with contacts with the Tamil Tigers, LTTE.

How could any one classify Hindraf as a terrorist group when their only crime to date was to participate in a peaceful assembly to articulate their grievances? An assembly that was deemed illegal because of the govt’s decision not to issue them with a permit.

If at all it was accused as a terrorist organisation then it must be the world’s most harmlessgroup of terrorists because it had not fired a single bullet, it has not caused any violence, it has not professed the destruction of any instituition and yet beyond the imagination of fair minded people they were called an extremist terrorist organisation.

Perhaps their only folly or mistake was to insert the offensive term of ethnic cleansing in their memorandum of petition which they had purpotedly filed with the British Embassy.A more appropriate replacement of words in their petition would be marginalisation and discrimination of the non-malays in general and the Indians in particular.

For the PM to follow the DPM in lying is most unforgiveable, especially in full public view of the mainstream media.

At the IMT-CT SME conference and Expo 2007 the PM went on record to say,”Half of the cabinet is non-malays,non UMNO members and non-muslims”. If we refer to the Prime Minister Office web-site we will find that 69% or 22 out of the 32 cabinet Ministers are from UMNO, 23 out of 32 cabinet Ministers are Malays, 25 out of 32 ministers are bumiputra and 23 cabinet Ministers are muslims.

I do not wish to be too harsh on both of them because they are both religious people but would I be impolite to say that they are both liars?

Lim Kit Siang - Freedom of Media

2007-12-06T00:27:00.000-08:00

As former top journalist, Zainuddin Maidin should have blazed the path and expanded space for greater media freedom. Instead he has done the reverse.

Although the instruments of repressive media control are with the Ministry of Internal Security, it is Zam as Information Minister who presented the public face of the Barisan Nasional government of such media control. In fact, he is the Barisan Nasional ideologue for media control and censorship.

Last year, Zainuddin was awarded the Eminent Journalist (Tokoh Wartawan) in appreciation of his contribution to journalism in the country.

Who gave away the award to him? None other than the Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak during the Malaysian Press Night 2006 organised by the Malaysian Press Institute (MPI) in November last year.

I do not know how Zainuddin dared to accept the award of Tokoh Wartawan when he has become the “Predator of the Press” as the government’s chief hatchet man to suppress press freedom in the country.

In the last few days, there are already several cases of the screws being tightened to throttle press freedom and the fundamental constitutional right of freedom of expression of Malaysians.

Only yesterday, top editors of Tamil and Chinese dailies were hauled to a 90-minute meeting in Putrajaya for the latest dose of brain-washing – not not to highlight stories and photographs relating to the Hindraf rally on Nov 25 and on all other matters involving the coalition.

Malaysiakini today, under its report “Ministry clamps down on Hindraf coverage” stated:
“We were basically told not to give prominence to Hindraf,” said an editor, adding that Tamil-language dailies were specifically mentioned for their coverage of the rally.

At the same time, the editors were also told not to publish news that would put the police and the government in a bad light.”

Malaysiakini yesterday reported that several presenters – including some popular ones – had been punished for supporting Hindraf.

It is learnt that seven radio DJs of Minnai FM had been punished, including two presenters working on contract.

This is from the Malaysiakini report - The severe action was for either taking part in the Hindraf-organised rally in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 25 or for giving prominence for the rally and Hindraf on air, added the sources.

Among those sacked or suspended are popular DJs K Meenakumari, K Sillalee and V Jamuna. The latter was a hugely popular contract presenter.

State-owned Tamil radio station Minnal FM has been urged to lift the suspension imposed on several presenters over their alleged involvement in the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) rally.

Media watchdogs Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) and the Writers Alliance for Media Independence (WAMI) have called for the lifting of the suspension as they were concerned that suspected involvement in the rally had been used as a basis to suspend the presenters.

Their joint statement said: “The action taken against the presenters only creates the perception that the government is intolerant (of) the democratic rights of its employees.”
The groups said the suspension indicated that Minnal FM viewed as an offence, the involvement of its staff in their personal capacity in public assemblies.

The joint statement said: “CIJ and WAMI would like to stress that freedom of assembly is a right guaranteed under the Federal Constitution and the radio presenters should not be discriminated against the right due to their professional relation to the government.”

Then there is the ridiculous case reported by Malaysiakini of the song Seloka Cak Kun Cak nyanyian bersama Tan Sri SM Salim dan M Nasir kena gam kerana terlalu banyak menyebut perkataan ‘bersih’!

Ini kerana lagu tersebut sering diputarkan ke udara tetapi sejak akhir-akhir ini, ia tidak kedengaran lagi, sehingga menimbulkan persoalan di kalangan orang ramai.
Lagu tersebut ciptaan M Nasir, dengan senikatanya ditulis oleh Seth.

On November 10, there was a 40,000-strong turn-out for the BERSIH gathering in support for electoral reforms for clean, free and fair elections. The Bersih initiative was so successful that the authorities seem to have developed a phobia for the word “bersih”, as in the sudden coldness towards the song Seloka Cak Kun Cak.

Bahagian yang dikatakan tidak senangi itu ialah bahagian korus lagu tersebut yang berbunyi:
Kulitnya bersih, hatipun bersih
Budi yang baik hatinya pengasih
kulitnya bersih, hatipun bersih
memikul belati tiada yang memilih

Jadikan bersih, hatipun putih
Berkata benar bermulut fasih
Jadikan bersih, hatipun putih
Biarlah khazanah pintu terpilih

Secara keseluruhannya, lagu tersebut menceritakan sejarah kegemilangan orang Melayu pada suatu ketika dahulu.

Is the government so insecure that it is now afraid of the word “bersih” that a clamp has to be imposed on the song, Cak Kun Cak?

Bernama - Court Refuses Bail For 31 Hindraf Supporters

2007-12-06T00:21:00.000-08:00

SHAH ALAM, Dec 6 (Bernama) -- Thirty-one people, believed to be supporters of the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), have been denied bail.

Twenty-six of them were charged on Tuesday and the other five, yesterday with several offences including attempted murder on a police officer during an illegal assembly organised by the group in front of the Sri Subramaniar Temple in Batu Caves on Nov 25.

Sessions Court Judge Azimah Omar, who took about 20 minutes to read out her decision today, said the court had taken into account the fact that public interest precedes the interests of all the accused.

In this case, she said, the prosecution did not offer bail because all of them were facing a charge under Section 307 of the Penal Code, namely attempted murder, which is non-bailable except at the court's discretion.

She said that in considering the issue of bail, the court had to consider several matters including whether there was a reasonable belief that the accused had committed the offence, the risks and concerns that the accused would commit a similar offence or other offences and the possibility of the accused tempering with the witnesses.

"Nevertheless, according to the law, the list is not exhaustive because other factors also have to be considered like the accused's health and public interest," she said.

Azimah said the defence had failed to furnish clear evidence with regard to the three accused who were said to be suffering health problems. One of the accused was said to have a kidney problem and required haemodialysis but the dialysis card submitted was not clear, while no medical records had been given to the court in respect of another accused who was said to be suffering from heart disease, she said.

She said the 18 pictures in the form of computer images that were submitted to the court yesterday as a ground for bail were not authenticated even though the defence claimed that they were taken by a man.

"This case is not an ordinary case but involves the accused who are alleged to have participated in an illegal gathering and a gathering does not involve only the accused but also the general public.

"The gathering also involves national security and does not involve racial and religious issues and on these grounds, the court is not allowing bail for all the accused," she said firmly.

Indian , 50 years is Enough !!!!!!!

2007-12-05T01:47:00.001-08:00

The next general election , expected on earlier of 2008 .If you are INDIAN then Vote For Any Opposition .Give Them A Chance To Change For A Better Malaysia . After all and all now they want to charged 26 indian with false charges. We also should charge them(police) for cause injured on many Hindraf supporter . Dear Malaysian Think For A Better Malaysia.

26 charged for illegal gathering(they said)!!!

2007-12-05T01:35:00.000-08:00

SHAH ALAM: Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Patail made a personal appearance at the Sessions Court here to lay charges against 26 people who allegedly took part in an illegal gathering at the Sri Subramaniar Temple in Batu Caves on Nov 25.

One of the charges was participation in an illegal assembly which led to an attempted murder.

The high-powered prosecution team comprised Abdul Ghani, A-G’s Chambers’ prosecution head Datuk Yusof Zainal Abiden and Selangor prosecution chief Nik Suhaimi Nik Sulaiman.

The 26 were charged with being in an illegal assembly and using criminal force on policeman Dadi Abdul Rani with the intent of causing death, under Section 149 of the Penal Code that was punishable under Section 307 of the same code.

They were also charged with participating in an illegal assembly and causing damage to public property. Both are non-bailable charges.

Ten of them claimed trial to a main charge under Section 27 (5) of the Police Act 1967 and an alternative charge under Section 143 of the Penal Code for taking part in an illegal assembly.

A drama started at the outset of the proceedings when three volunteer lawyers from the Bar Council discharged themselves after one of them had a fallout with Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) lawyer P. Uthayakumar.

Later, Abdul Ghani said the accused were all charged under non-bailable charges and that Judge Azimah Omar had to hear all arguments before using her discretion to allow them bail.
Azimah agreed and adjourned the case to today and ordered the accused to be held in police custody.

She said she would not use her discretionary powers to release the accused on bail without hearing to the arguments of both sides.

Admin : The Malaysia goverment dint yet have seen the real fighter , if you see you will cry!!! In the next general election , my wish is Barisan Nasional Goverment lead by UMNO will be defeated by oppositon!!!!!!!!!!

Billa , Old and New

2007-12-05T00:07:00.000-08:00

For those who watches tamil movie, cannot afford to miss Billa. Sorry not the new Billa but then old Billa with Rajinikanth. Well yeah we are all getting into the trend of remaking. Indian film is entering into the remake era. No harm done, just some easy way to make new story in modern way. Anyway lets have a peek into the old Billan 1980 and the all new Billa 2007..

First respect to Billa 1980...

Billa (Rajnikanth) is the leader of an underworld gang. The DSP is tracking down Billa and in one of their confrontations the DSP wounds Billa, resulting in his death. The DSP then secretly holds a burying of Billa. After which the DSP remembers a person who looks like Billa, he then tracks that person down. The DSP requests Raju to impersonates Billa so that the DSP can take down the rest of Billa's gang, Raju requests that the DSP promises him that he will give a proper education to the children that he is looking after. But in an unexpected turn of events the DSP dies. The DSP is the only one who knows the truth about our impersonator who now finds himself in a life-threatening situation - hunted by both the cops and the real Billa's henchmen and to make matters worse, he then finds out that Interpol Officer is a crook and has taken the place of the real person. He is the one responsible for the DSP's murder. It's now a race to retrieve a the DSP's diary in which the DSP has documented his substitution of the real Billa.

Nowday's Billa 2007 ....

In 2007, the drug trade is booming. The Malaysian Intelligence and Anti-Narcotic Department are called upon for assistance by their Indian counterparts. There are rumours that a drug gang has recently moved their headquarters to Kuala Lumpur.

The Indian team is headed by the DCP (Rahman) who wants to break the back of the drug operations of a drug lord. He believes that capturing the drug Lord's dangerous and elusive lieutenant, Billa, (Ajith Kumar), will be the most effective way of accomplishing this. Billa's gang consist of Narang (Santhanam) and Anita (Namitha). Soon, Roma (Nayanthara) joins them but she has other plans - kill Billa. Billa was responsible for killing her brother Ramesh as well as his fiancee, Kamini.

During a chase with the police the real Billa is critically injured and is captured by the DSP. He keeps it a secret that he has captured Billa, even from his fellow officers, and tracks down a look-alike called Jeeva, a lowly singer (also played by Ajith Kumar). He asks Jeeva to infiltrate Billa's gang by pretending to be Billa. In return he will make sure that the child Jeeva found and adopted, Deepu gets a proper education. Meanwhile Jasjit who has just been released from prison sets out in search for his son, Deepu, and to get his revenge on the DSP who arrested him and prevented him from rescuing his wife and child from black mailers, this in turn killed his wife and left his son missing.

The DSP trains Jeeva and admits him in a hospital (in which Billa is also admitted and supposedly in coma) to surgically give him all the scars and birthmarks the real Billa has on his body. However Billa dies of heart failure suddenly in front of the DSP and the doctors, who are unable to save him. While Jeeva is infiltrating Billa's gang, the DSP is captured and killed in a fire blast; and Jeeva is forced to run from the police as well as Billa's gang members -- pursuing the last piece of evidence (a disc) which has all of Billa's criminal activities loaded on it, a disc which can get him out of this mess. Through various plot twists, Jeeva recovers the disc. Eventually, it surfaces that the DSP is alive and is actually Vardhan, a notorious underground criminal with a grudge against the Drug Lord, Billa's boss, and eventually ends up killing him. Jeeva arranges a meeting with Vardhan and assists in his capture. In a final twist, it emerges that the real Billa is still alive, and was pretending to be Jeeva who he killed and replaced while in the hospital. It was actually Jeeva who had died in the hospital of heart failure in front of Vardhan. In the end both Billa and his girlfriend Anita (Namitha) escape, bewildering the police and Roma.

Boycott MainStreamMedia !!!!!

2007-12-03T22:08:00.000-08:00

(Turned off by the mainstream media treatment of the Hindraf demonstration on Sunday, 25th November 2007, Malaysiakini columnist Helen Ang has made the following call for boycott of the newspapers.)

by Helen Ang
Malaysiakini Nov 29, 07

I feel like I’ve just been slapped, kicked and punched. And I’m neither Indian nor Hindu.
The way mainstream media (MSM) have painted our fellow Malaysians black makes me thoroughly sick. MSM have assaulted Indians through their derogatory portrayal of the community and it stings me. Aliran Media Monitor’s Diary has effectively dissected MSM spin on the Hindraf rally to show up how unconscionable their coverage has been.

When a community with its back to the wall takes to the street, I sympathise. I do not mock the melodramatic form of their lawsuit and petition. I understand that the massive turnout on Nov 25 was a cry of distress. Nathaniel Tan’s ‘Why I will walk this Sunday’ is an eloquent peroration on why all Malaysians must wake up, now.

I wish I had read Nat’s piece earlier but it was only uploaded on his blog Saturday – a mere day before the gathering was to take place. His exposition is something to turn over in our heads and help us in our soul-searching because Nat spoke straight from the heart. Mighty MSM, I’m afraid, speak from the pay pocket.

There was a dearth of information in the public domain running up to the Hindraf rally, and later contradicting accounts of what really happened. Which only indicates MSM have long since lost any right to call themselves ‘newspapers’. A fortnight earlier, the Star had quoted police on a crowd segment of 4,000 at the Bersih march. This small number is deliberately misleading.

And again with Hindraf, MSM deliberately omitted an accurate depiction of the massive turnout. They failed to credit why Indians streamed into KL from all over the country. All they did was spin for their political masters.

What’s important to MSM

The Star peddles itself as the People’s Paper. This People’s Paper gave the Bersih rally all of a single page’s coverage, reflecting how much The Star thinks of the Malaysian people – us. It did not carry any picture of the crowds or of human beings. It had one photograph of motorcars stuck in a jam.

When casino magnate Lim Goh Tong died, he was front page news. Bersih on the other hand was hidden away in the middle pages. The Star devoted seven pages to the late tycoon. And it talked about the Tan Sri for days after, to the extent of telling us how much his funeral wreaths cost.
Lim is not ‘people’, he’s one person. Instead of the People’s Paper, the Star might want to consider tagging itself ‘the Very Important Person or VIP’s Paper’.

Then there was that column in The Sun headlined “Not everybody needs to demonstrate, please” which implied the tens of thousands of Malaysians at the Bersih rally had turned out in support of “a group whose acronym could be mistaken for a Clean Toilet campaign”. Jacqueline Ann Surin wrote: “All I wanted to do last Saturday was go for a facial …”

Almost everyone took Surin’s flippant column at face value. She’s a well-known journalist who has advocated working within the system. However, her own take on the Bersih march is surely an indictment of the system’s limitations. ‘Proper channels’ serve only to restrict the reporter and his report becomes equivocal. Surin is an assistant news editor no less; how would foot soldiers fare in trying to get their stories past the gatekeepers?

Meaningful access to the public is ever so precious in these our turbulent times; Surin wasted hers talking about her irrelevant Saturday. I am going to fight for the public space which will enable a write-up like blogger Nat Tan’s unflinching Sunday to get the widest possible airing.

Call for Hartal

‘Do we, the people, have it in us to bring the falsehood mongers to their knees?’

The above question was tossed by civil rights lawyer Haris Ibrahim in The People’s Parliament. What Haris asks is urgent in view of the general election coming up.

We need credible information. The public knew too little about Hindraf before last week and hence couldn’t make up our minds whether to support the march or not. So we don’t want to be confused by MSM lies when the election comes around.

We need credible reporters to seek and speak the truth, even if these are citizen journos in pyjamas. There have been three street walks, all of them ‘illegal’. The authorities have criminalised the freedom to assemble peacefully – a right guaranteed us in our Constitution. MSM is in denial by making out participants of the walks to be the bad guys.

Newspapers are nothing more than errand boys delivering warning telegrams from Umno and its lackeys: May 13, ISA, sack teachers who support Hindraf and other innumerable threats.

These newspapers do not have many credible news editors, only some incredible spinmeisters.

Not only does MSM keep us in the dark, they spooked us with Hindraf’s alleged sedition, left us wondering whether the gathering would proceed, and if another Ops Lalang was underway.

We buy newspapers with the expectation of reading reliable reports but if these are not forthcoming, why waste money? Or pay to have our intelligence insulted. The act of saying ‘No’ to newspapers is hardly taxing for those of you reading this now. The harder task is to spread it as a national message and convince others.

A cause everyone can support

We are not breaking any law by making a personal decision not to buy newspapers.

We are not causing trouble by refusing to read newspapers.

We are not promoting racial disunity by boycotting newspapers.

Religion is not in this picture frame.

We’re doing good by saving money, close to RM1,000, in fact, if we cancel two annual subscriptions.

Why do this? Because we are Malaysians with conscience and our conscience is troubled.

We’d like everybody – anyone who reads online – to hop aboard and join in our demand for an end to MSM spinning and spinning webs of deceit.

Connect with us on how to break the mighty MSM monopoly of the Malaysian mind. We’d like your participation at People’s Parliament.

Cyberspace is as real as you care to make it. We can do more than talk. We can act.

We will.

Hartal!

Mr.P.Waythamoorty Left M'sia , Head to India , London & UN / GENEVA / EUROPE

2007-12-02T21:01:00.000-08:00

Hindraf Chairman and Barrister at Law (Lincoln’s Inn) Mr.P.Waythamoorthy had on 28/11/07 left Malaysia in light of the local crackdown and threatened (by the Prime Minister) detention without trial under the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA) and to lobby the international community’s support for the mere 8% ethnic minority Indians in Malaysia who have been marginalized and permanently colonialised by the racist, malay supremacist and Islamic fundamentalist UMNO controlled Malaysian Government. This is as a last resort as the said UMNO led Malaysian government, the Prime Minister, Ministers and Deputy Ministers are going all out on a crackdown on peaceful and lawful Hindraf supporters and their lawyers. The UMNO controlled print and electronic media are publishing and broadcasting almost daily over the past two(2) weeks and mostly on their headlines false, racial and religious hatred news against Hindraf. But they would not be prosecuted for Sedition unlike what they have already done to the three (3) Hindraf lawyers as they control the Attorney General, Courts, police, army, civil servants and the entire government machinery.

INDIA LOBBY

Mr.P.Waythamoorthy is expected to meet Tamil Nadu Chief Minister The Hon Mr.M.Karunanidhi and Opposition Leader Selvi Jayalalitha soon. Thereafter he would proceed to New Dehli with the view to meet the Prime Minister of India The Hon Mr.Manmohan Singh’s Senior Private Secretary and also the Indian Foreign Minister.

LONDON LOBBY

Mr.P.Waythamoorthy would thereafter proceed to London and meet the Malaysian desk officer at the Foreign and Commonwealth office of the British Foreign Ministry. Thereafter he would try and meet the British Prime Minister, The Rt Hon Gardon Brown’s Senior Private Secretary. Meetings are also being arranged with Amnesty International London Interrights, Frontline Defenders, Dublin, and about 18 other human rights NGOS’ in London.

U.N / GENEVA / EUROPE

Thereafter Mr.P.Waythamoorthy would proceed to the office of the United Nations (U.N) High Commissioner for Human Rights and the other U.N bodies in Geneva and lodge a formal complaint against Malaysia for it’s 50 years of atrocities against the ethnic minority Indians in Malaysia. Thereafter he is expected to meet up with about 22 human rights NGOS’ in Geneva Brussells and other cities in Europe. Thereafter Mr.P.Wathyamoorthy is flying to Washington to meet the U.S State Department Malaysia desk officer, U.S Congressman and Senators Secretaries, Human Rights Watch and about 20 other NGOS’ in Washington and New York.In all the above destinations Mr.P.Wythamoorthy is also expected to lobby the Bar Associations in Madras, New Delhi, London, Geneva, Brussels, Washington and New York etc against especially the three (3) Hindraf lawyers for speaking up the truth but are maliciously prosecuted for Sedition and also the malicious assault, beat up, racist and malicious prosecution, harassment and intimidation of the 200 over hindraf peaceful assemblers who were merely exercising constitutional rights further to Article 10 of the Federal Constitution.

Rude Nazri Warned Karuna-nidhi to Stay Away

2007-11-29T00:42:00.000-08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: Stay out of the controversy involving the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) – that’s the stern message for Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, who rebuked Karunanidhi for interfering, said what happened here had “nothing to do with Tamil Nadu.”

”Do not meddle in our affairs. This is Malaysia, not Tamil Nadu ... lay off,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday, when asked about wire reports that Karunanidhi had written to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urging him to take immediate and appropriate action to end the “sufferings and bad treatment” of Tamils in Malaysia.

Nazri said he would not apologise for calling those who participated in the Hindraf rally on Sunday “penyangak” (thugs), stressing that the demonstrators had violated the law as no permit was issued.

He explained that it was illogical to assume that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi would not accept their memorandum.

“I cannot accept the action of 20,000 people who want to be involved in a simple action of submitting a memorandum. They can send one person or even 10. The question is – are they really sincere in highlighting their grievances, or are they trying to create chaos?

“It’s a mistake to make an apology to them. It’s not the Indian community that’s involved. Don’t be samseng (gangster),” he said, adding that the issue was discussed at yesterday’s Cabinet meeting.

Nazri said police would probe a petition to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, which stated that a genocide would occur here with the Indian community being forced into violence like in Sri Lanka if their “cause” was ignored.

“The Attorney-General’s Chambers will study who sent the petition and charge the writer for sedition. The Hindraf memorandum is also a matter of concern because its contents are seditious,” he added.

“I’m sure these matters will also create animosity between the Indians, the Malays and the Government. We will take action. These people must be responsible for their actions.”
Nazri also reiterated Abdullah’s warning that the Internal Security Act would be used if the situation warranted it.

“Don’t challenge the Government. They can try and hold a rally again and see what will happen,” he added.

“The authorities were accused of excessive action. Look at France, whose police used tear gas and even rubber bullets when a demonstration occurred there.”

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed support for most of the demands made by Hindraf.

He told reporters yesterday that he turned up at the Klang Sessions Court on Saturday to give moral support to lawyers P. Uthayakumar, Waythamoorthy and V.S. Ganapathi Rao.

Anwar said he had advised Hindraf not to use Article 153 of the Federal Constitution to pursue their demands as it involved the rights and privileges of the Malays and other indigenous local folk.

In a separate press conference, Opposition leader Lim Kit Siang urged Nazri to apologise unconditionally for labelling the demonstrators “penyangak.”

The Star "88 charged , arrest warrants issued against two who failed to show up in court"

2007-11-28T21:55:00.000-08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 88 people who participated in the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) rally on Sunday were charged here and in Selayang.

The group, which included a woman and two elderly men, appeared in the courts yesterday after being released on police bail the day before when the remand order against them expired.

While 48 were prosecuted in magistrate’s courts here, 40 others were charged in the Sessions Court in Selayang.

Those charged came from all walks of life: students, taxi drivers, clerks, mechanics, lorry drivers, pensioners, the unemployed and civil servants from various states.

Also charged was Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) national integration chief N. Gobalakrishnan. The 48 people charged here are between 21 and 72. They were calm upon hearing their charges and were granted bail of between RM1,500 and RM3,000 each.

Each was accused of displaying a show of criminal force to instil fear on police who were discharging their duty at various main roads in the city on Sunday.

They faced an alternative charge of being in an unlawful assembly that day.

They also faced a second charge of continuing to be in an unlawful assembly knowing that there was an order to disperse.

They claimed trial to all the charges.

Yesterday, two arrest warrants were issued by a magistrate against two men who failed to turn up in court to answer their charges.

Magistrate Ahmad Solihin Abdul Wahid issued warrants against E. Jayaraman, 48, and M. Selvanathan, 45, on an application from the prosecution, saying that the police bail on the two expired yesterday.

R. Magiswary, 45, who was supposed to face similar charges, produced a medical chit through her lawyer for her absence from court. The court set Dec 10 to mention her case.

DPP Adilla Ahmad told the same court that K. Thirushul, 21, was given a special exemption as he was sitting for an examination. Two others did not turn up in court to answer their charges.

In one of the courts, lawyer Saha Arunasalam raised a preliminary objection, saying that the charges framed against his clients were defective but the magistrate dismissed it and set Jan 29 for mention.

In Gombak, 40 men were charged with being at an illegal assembly in front of the Sri Subramaniar temple along Jalan Besar Batu Caves on Nov 25 between 1am and 8am.

Each of them also faced a similar alternative charge as the 48 in Kuala Lumpur.

All of them claimed trial.

Lawyer M. Manoharan then asked for his clients to be given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal, claiming that the charges were defective in that their names were placed in an attached document instead of the main document.

However, DPP Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud said that granting the 40 men a discharge at this stage would amount to the court not adhering to the law.

Judge Hayatul Akmal Abdul Aziz said she would decide on the application today.

Police beefed up security at the Kuala Lumpur and Selayang court complexes with over 100 personnel by 7.30am to avoid any untoward incident.

Those who wanted to get into the Jalan Duta court complex were earlier screened by police at its entrance.

The main gate was closed at 9.30am.

NST : ‘Im a man on the job, not on the streets’

2007-11-28T21:44:00.000-08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: All the hard work done for the Indian community by the MIC is being "jeopardised" by the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) and other opposition parties.

The struggle and welfare of the community had been addressed by the government since independence, said MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu(Pic Left)

"Hindraf has only emerged now but the MIC has been at it for 50 years," he said.

"They (the protesters) are fighting to create problems. They are troublemakers."
He said MIC had been fighting for the Indians through consultation and dialogue in the spirit of the Barisan Nasional.

"Being a multi-racial society, we have to take into consideration the sentiments of the other races and BN component parties."

Samy Vellu, who is also works minister, said although all its proposals and requests could not be entertained, the MIC had achieved a degree of success, given the political scenario in Malaysia.
"We find it disturbing for others to think otherwise. Their actions are in fact jeopardising the positive efforts being considered and undertaken for the community," he said at the parliament lobby yesterday.

Samy Vellu said the MIC was aware of issues confronting the community, concerning education, housing, employment, health, the economy and religion.

"It may appear that the MIC leadership is doing little to address these issues, when in fact they are highlighted almost every week at cabinet meetings and even in parliament, sometimes to the ire of BN leaders.

"We fully understand the shortcomings. These issues cannot be addressed over-night. There is so much more to be done over a period of time."

ON EDUCATION

Samy Vellu said more Indian students were being given government scholarships, study loans and opportunities to pursue technical, business and professional courses locally and abroad.
This comes by way of the Tamil School Action Council, Yayasan Strategik Social, Maju Institute of Educational Development, Tafe College and the Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology.

"They can be poor but if they have brains we will not deny them a sound education.

"To date, the MIC has secured financial aid to the tune of RM94 million for 14,300 students, including 1,300 to pursue medical studies in Russia, the Ukraine and Indonesia.

"This includes Public Service Department scholarships for 176 deserving students last year. The government has also approved 500 seats for matriculation studies annually, while Giatmara has allocated a 10 per cent quota for Indian students to pursue technical courses," he said.

On Tamil schools, 180 new schools were built in the last two decades, while another 80 are in the pipeline.

More Tamil school teachers are being employed. In 1970, there were 3,258 teachers compared with 7,126 this year, an increase of 118.7 per cent over the past 37 years.

These efforts have produced exemplary UPSR results with 45 students securing 7 As in 1995, 202 in 2002, 579 last year and 573 this year.

The Tamil language has been accepted at STPM level as a critical subject for admission into the Arts Faculty in Universiti Malaya.

ON RELIGION

Temples are being relocated or built in a systematic way so that they can better serve worshippers. This has been one of the main issues.

After the furore caused by the demolition of a 100-year-old temple in Shah Alam last month, the government has now made it mandatory that demolitions and relocations of temples be made after consultation with the MIC chief.

ON HOUSING

Samy Vellu said more homes had been allocated for Indian squatters.

"In the federal capital, 1,500 houses have been given to displaced squatters. Another 2,700 will soon benefit."

ON EMPLOYMENT

He said opportunities for Indians in the civil service used to be a mere two per cent but the representation is increasing.

"We have even fought for estate workers to get better monthly wages," he said.

Samy Vellu said the MIC also undertook efforts to improve the community's economy through various channels like the chambers of commerce and industry and business associations.
In a separate interview with Reuters, Samy Vellu said:

"We have fought worse battles than this during elections (referring to Sunday's rally organised by Hindraf).

"We don't worry about this. We are confident of winning the next elections hand-somely."
Several thousand Indians participated in the rally and had to be dispersed by water cannon and tear gas.

"I'm not going to lose sleep over this demonstration. To me, I can throw the records on the floor on what I have done. I am not a man on the streets. I am a man on the job."

Hindraf Leader Arrested !!!

2007-11-28T21:33:00.000-08:00

through Malaysiakini : http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/75432

A key leader of the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) was arrested early this morning, sparking fears of another police round-up of leaders of the movement.

Lawyer VS Ganapathi Rao was arrested at his house in Shah Alam, Selangor, at about 7.15am by a police team from Seremban.

Another Hindraf leader M Manoharan told Malaysiakini that Ganapathi was immediately taken to Seremban and is expected to be charged with sedition.

“I believe he was arrested over a forum which Hindraf held in Seremban two weeks ago. Five of us, including myself, spoke on the plight of the Indian community,” he added.

He said he believed that he and three other Hindraf leaders - including chairperson P Waythmoorthy and legal adviser P Uthayakumar - will soon be arrested by the Seremban police.

When contacted, Uthayakumar too said he was expecting to be arrested soon.

“I am waiting for the police to arrive at my house here in Bangsar. I am sure the police will be coming after us,” he added.

The lawyer also said that he would not be surprised if the Internal Security Act was used against him.
